The fee that we will charge you for your Subscription will be the price for the Subscription plan you select. If you signed up for THREADBEAST using a promotion code, you will only receive that promotion in your first Subscription package.  The Subscription plans and the associated fees are listed at www.threadbeast.com/checkout.  THREADBEAST reserves the right to change the price or frequency of Subscriptions at any time, and does not provide price protection or refunds in the event of promotions or price decreases.

You may pay your Subscription fee only with credit and debit card payments (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover).  We will charge your credit or debit card for your first Subscription fee on the date that we process your order for your Subscription.  Thereafter, we will charge your credit or debit card using the card you used at registration with the relevant Subscription fee monthly, quarterly, yearly or otherwise, in accordance with the Subscription terms of the Subscription you selected, until you cancel your Subscription in accordance with our below Cancellation Policy.  If the credit or debit card information you have provided is incorrect or incomplete or if THREADBEAST is unable to complete the transaction due to your error or omission, we will attempt to contact you and inform you of the problem; however, failure to provide accurate and complete shipping and billing information may result in the delay or cancellation of your Subscription or a particular delivery.  If you do not pay the Subscription fee or if your payment does not process, you will not receive any packages.  Once your credit or debit card is charged the Subscription fee, you will generally receive your package within two weeks.  Subscriptions may be cancelled as expressly set forth in the Cancellation Policy section below.  If you believe you have purchased a Subscription in error, please contact us immediately at assistant@threadbeast.com.  THREADBEAST may limit quantities of or cancel Subscriptions purchased, and we reserve the right to refuse any order. In the event THREADBEAST needs to change or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you using the contact information you provided during registration.  Packages may be shipped by a third party carrier.

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration; Class Action Waiver.

Please read this carefully.  It affects your rights regarding disputes between you and THREADBEAST.

Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to a customer’s satisfaction by contacting us at assistant@threadbeast.com.  This Provision facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any disputes that may arise between you and THREADBEAST.  Arbitration is a form of private dispute resolution in which persons with a dispute waive their rights to file a lawsuit, to proceed in court and to a jury trial, and instead submit their disputes to a neutral third person (or arbitrator) for a binding decision.  You have the right to opt-out of this Provision (as explained below), which means you would retain your right to litigate your disputes in a court, either before a judge or jury.

All Disputes between you and THREADBEAST shall be resolved by binding arbitration.  Arbitration replaces the right to go to court.  In the absence of this arbitration agreement, you may otherwise have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions).  Except as otherwise provided, entering into this agreement constitutes a waiver of your right to litigate claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury, or enter into a class action claim against THREADBEAST.  There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited.  The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney’s fees).

For the purpose of this Provision, “THREADBEAST” means THREADBEAST and its parents, subsidiary, and affiliate companies, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents.  The term “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and THREADBEAST regarding any aspect of your relationship with THREADBEAST, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Provision (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below).  “Dispute” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced, and shall include any claims against other parties relating to services or products provided or billed to you (such as THREADBEAST’s licensors, suppliers, dealers or third-party vendors) whenever you also assert claims against us in the same proceeding.

WE EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION.

Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution.

For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first give THREADBEAST an opportunity to resolve the Dispute.  You must commence this process by mailing written notification to THREADBEAST PO Box 461791 Los Angeles, CA 90046.  That written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of your Claim, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek.  If THREADBEAST does not resolve the Dispute within forth-five (45) days after it receives your written notification, you may pursue your Dispute in arbitration.  You may pursue your Dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.

Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt Out.

Notwithstanding the above, you or THREADBEAST may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if (a) the Dispute qualifies, it may be initiated in small claims court; or (b) YOU OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THIS AGREEMENT (the “Opt-Out Deadline”).  You may opt out of this Provision by mailing written notification to THREADBEAST PO Box 461791 Los Angeles, CA 90046.  Your written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, and (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with THREADBEAST through arbitration.  Your decision to opt-out of this Arbitration Provision will have no adverse effect on your relationship with THREADBEAST.  Any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and you must pursue your Dispute in arbitration or small claims court.

Arbitration Procedures.

If this Provision applies and the Dispute is not resolved as provided above (Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution) either you or THREADBEAST may initiate arbitration proceedings.  The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com, will arbitrate all Disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator.  The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration, and shall in no event be commenced as a class arbitration.  All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this Provision.

For arbitration before AAA, for Disputes of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for Disputes involving $75,000 or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply.  In either instance, the AAA’s Optional Rules For Emergency Measures Of Protection shall apply.  The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.  For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols For Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply.  The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267.  This Provision governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules.  Under no circumstances will class action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration.

Because the Site and these Terms concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all Disputes.  However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit.

Arbitration Award – The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law, and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding.  The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party.  Such award will be final and binding on the parties,subject to any right of review provided by the FAA or applicable state law, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.

Location of Arbitration – You or THREADBEAST may initiate arbitration in the federal judicial district that includes your billing address. 

Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs – Each party will pay equal share of all arbitration filing fees and arbitrator’s costs and expenses upon commencement of the arbitration.  Each party shall be responsible for all additional fees and costs that it incurs in the arbitration, including, but not limited to, attorneys or expert witnesses.  Fees and costs may be awarded as provided pursuant to applicable law.  In addition to any rights to recover fees and costs under applicable law, if you provide notice and negotiate in good faith with THREADBEAST as provided in the section above titled “Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution” and the arbitrator concludes that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.

Class Action Waiver.

Except as otherwise provided in this Provision, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action or private attorney general action) unless both you and THREADBEAST specifically agree to do so following initiation of the arbitration.  If you choose to pursue your Dispute in court by opting out of the Arbitration Provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to you.  Neither you, nor any other user of the Site can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.

Jury Waiver.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT YOU AND THREADBEAST ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR A TRIAL BEFORE A JUDGE IN A PUBLIC COURT.  IN THE ABSENCE OF THIS PROVISION, YOU AND THREADBEAST MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE HAD A RIGHT OR OPPORTUNITY TO BRING DISPUTES IN A COURT, BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY, AND/OR TO PARTICIPATE OR BE REPRESENTED IN A CASE FILED IN COURT BY OTHERS (INCLUDING CLASS ACTIONS).  EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BELOW, THOSE RIGHTS ARE WAIVED.  OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS THE RIGHT TO APPEAL AND TO CERTAIN TYPES OF DISCOVERY, MAY BE MORE LIMITED OR MAY ALSO BE WAIVED.

Severability.

If any clause or portion of a clause within the Terms (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause or portion of such clause will be severed from the Terms, and the remainder of the Terms will be given full force and effect.  If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Provision will be unenforceable and the Dispute will be decided by a court.

Continuation

This Provision shall survive the termination of your service with THREADBEAST or its affiliates.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if THREADBEAST makes any change to this Provision (other than a change to the Notice Address), you may reject any such change and require THREADBEAST to adhere to the language in this Provision if a dispute between us arises.
